You may recall that last October 19th, a 6-foot deep trench was dug from my well, through my flowerbed, to the house. The small-leaved PJM rhodendron that camoflaged the well-head was dug up, so i took pieces of it and planted them in the thinned-out woods where i have a woodland path.
Planting the little rhododendrons seemed if-fy since the woods soil is thin and full of roots and rocks. I'm happy to report that 4 of them survived, and only 1 skinny one died. I'm mulching them heavily now to sustain them through the summer, when the woods soil becomes dry. Also, because they are out-of-sight, out-of-mind and out-of-reach for the garden hose.
Sometimes, we ourselves suffer the stress of uprooting ourselves and moving to a different location: home, work, friends, or spiritual home. We replant ourselves in the new location, and hopefully we "take."
The PJMs are budded now and will bloom soon :)
